Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:29:21 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212494Julien’s comments about having no issues with Seguin fall under the category of total B.S. Anyone following this team knows that there were on ice issues between these two right from the beginning. As the off ice issues with Seguin grew, the Bruins management failed miserably in their inability to handle it. Also, as written in a previous post, they failed in handling the Tim Thomas situation, throwing gas on the fire, instead of trying to douse the flames. Whatever hockey knowledge Chiarelli, Neely and Julien bring to the table, it is sometimes muted by their immaturity when facing off ice personal issues. They need to learn how to quell these issues, rather than making them worse, which in these two cases got them to the point of no return.

Teams get caught up in that trade deadline ‘we’ve gotta do something! Pittsburgh did!” at the risk of making things worse, not better. Not all trade deadline moves are equal……

Fri, 12 Jul 2013 11:31:15 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212447Julien’s the only honest one in the bunch. They trumped up non existant issues to hide the fact that they pizzzed off Seguin for burying him in favor of a 41 year old Cement Filled Traffic Pylon.

Just like management mishandled Tim Thomas.

This front office has a lot of hockey talent evaluation skills, but not so much in people skills.

I’m a dreamin man!

Fri, 12 Jul 2013 08:21:50 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212436mustang,shhhh! Jagr put the Bruins on his shoulders,skated like the wind,shredded nets and won the Stanley Cup.

Oh, wait, that’s the fantasy most posters on here like to think happened. What no one will come out and admit is the bruins played the entire playoffs a man down every time Jagr was on the ice. Seguin may or may not develop into a star,time will tell.
Can’t wait to see which completely over the hill name from the past they sign next season.

Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:59:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212300I always see these comments about Seguin needing to bulk up, get stronger on the puck, etc. but two things:

1. He’ll bulk up just as a function of aging and developing. Look at Seguin, there’s no way he’s not working hard in the gym.

2. His style of play just doesn’t emphasize possession or puck support. I’m not sure he gets the value of it and after watching Jagr’s 0 playoff goals I’m not sure he had the best examples. Bergeron is a role model but he’s a wizard and Seguin is a pup.

I think Seguin’s shortcomings are as a student of the game more than anything.

Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:45:20 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212294Erickson is more of a grider and a goal scorer so im happy about the trade. Seguin didnt do much in the finals. but if julien liked him that much he would have made a case for keeping him. We all know julians famous for double talk. But i still love my bruins. moreover chara dissapeared in the finals also gave up way to many pucks in front of the net. in chara defense, julian had him out there too much. I wonder how much Thomas thinks his name could be on the cup if he played this year Rask fell apart against the Chicago how much you want to bet after 4 yrs they will be buying rasks contract. .

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:49:34 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212171You could say that about the entire team they all took hits and gave them ( possible exception was Jagr) Tyler didn’t have so much as a scratch at the conclusion of the playoffs, spent most of the time avoiding contact and avoiding the high contact scrums in front of the net. reminded me of Craig Jannys final years, he too spent a lot of time on the ice getting up.

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 21:08:46 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212119I think he needs to learn to not be afraid of taking a hit. I don’t know that adding size would help his game any but who knows. Krejci is small too but doesn’t shy away from getting hit like Seguin often does.

Thu, 11 Jul 2013 20:23:39 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2286313#comment-212074The only issues were with Seguin’s compete level. He needs to bulk up and get tougher. Well, at least he needed to, to play on one of the top two lines in Boston. Seguin will eventually do that, just like Thornton did.
